Anyone having issues with the rear arms breaking? Just broke another left one. Right at where the material is in front of the hinge pin...not on the hinge pin but next to it.

I broke one rear arm first time out with it ,since then I have removed all plastic bits off the car and boiled them for five minutes and have not broken anything since

I have a question guys

I just upgraded my entire driveline to universals.

I am having clearance issues on the mid rear shaft. It's hitting the lipo strap

Any help or tips on what I need to do.

Thanks!

You can use a dremel drum sander and smooth it out length wise, or get the aluminum holder for the rear diff that has two places on it; that lifts the strap higher, or you can cut it in two pieces. I used the dremel approach.

I was using a 20 pinion, so I am going back to the 23, as it seems to provide a smoother transition. I also rebuilt the front end after the shock came apart, thank goodness I bought a parts car from a friend. I had to replace the shock shaft and a arm. She is back together again after the shock blowout.

I do have the aluminum hoop

It's still not clearing. Is this a common thing?

Note: My car is a 2010 Spec Car that has been upgraded all along the way.

Is it hitting near the hinge end? I'm guessing the type B battery strap will fix your issues

Are there any negatives to boiling these parts (e.g. arms, rear hubs)?

Apparently not as nylon absorbs moisture naturally anyway and as it does it becomes more flexible and less likely to break, boiling new parts just speeds up the process. If your car is old it probably won't need it but with my new v4 I broke things easily first drive and have recently had bigger crashes and no breakages after boiling everything, that includes bnip parts too

The aluminum loop/hoop has two settings, make sure you are using the higher one.

Do i need to switch a motor wire to get my buggy to run in the forward direction? i have a futaba 4pks radio (throttle in reverse), SP reventon pro speedo. i've programmed the speedo to learn the transmitter a number of times.if i switch my throttle on my radio all that does is switch throttle direction of my radio.

Double check to make sure ur diffs are in the right way. The screws heads should be facing the ground.

Well alby damn i think your right. my screw heads on the diffs are pointing up and after looking in the manual the ring gear side of cases are on the wrong side. i'll be swithing this tomorrow at work and hope it fixes my issue.
Thank your so so so much.
